Our students'
propensity to question deeply and to make their voices heard reflects
the vibrant legal culture we have fostered at Hastings. We have at once
an enviable collection of young faculty members with spirited and
original points of view complemented by the insightful approaches of our
august senior professors. Our student body represents a rich diversity
in age, background, ethnicity, and gender whose voices echo the
spontaneity and tempo of San Francisco. In the Heart of the Law What helps give relevance to your Hastings legal education is its setting in the heart of the law, literally next door to state and federal courts of every level and near government agencies that serve the public purpose and defend the public interest. That proximity gives you the opportunity to experience the law in the very forums where it is practiced and determined. A Record of Achievements Hastings has established an impressive record for the quality of its graduates since its founding in 1878 as the first public law school in California. An unparalleled Hastings presence in the judiciary and the bar, in government and business, in education, and in the entertainment industry has had a significant influence on our immediate community as well as the society at large. As you consider Hastings for your legal studies, be prepared for a high-energy forum that brings the law to life for a life in the law.
